The second Trump administration is likely to take a more relaxed approach to antitrust, something Sweeney has been quite vocal against (he has brought such cases against Apple and Google). On Twitter on Friday, Sweeney was pretty blunt about the extent to which tech executives have tried to get away with antitrust violations, ripping off consumers and crushing their rivals.<\/p>\n
